We think adventures should only be limited by your imagination, and while we can't read minds, we'd wager that the engineers at Ibis feel the same. It's pretty easy to see when we take a glance at the brand's lineup of rowdy mountain bikes, and while a life of singletrack certainly will bring you quite the adrenaline rush, we think adventure pushes well beyond rock gardens, and into the wild beyond, roads less traveled, and up winding mountain passes that would be tedious to pedal on a full-suspension rig.

With the exception of high-level road racing, this bike is poised to kill a quiver of cyclocross, gravel, and road bikes, because it lets you replace those other machines with a discipline-specific wheelset, instead. Ibis mountain bikes have been built exclusively from carbon fiber for sever...
